Rock Creek 916 is a hard hike of about 7.4 miles in the Barlow Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is natural-surfaced and shaped as an out-and-back, with the high point at about 2,734 feet and the low point at about 2,226 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.5 miles in, with a grade of about 12 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Government Camp weather station show July and August highs around 69 to 70°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-30s and rain on most days. That station sits about 1,200 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the hike run warmer. Rock Creek 921 starts just 0.1 mile away.
